Classifying People by Their Lifestyles and Health Patterns Classifying people by their lifestyles and health patterns Marc Farr Relating Kaiser Permanente to socio-economic analysis Case Management Frequent Flyers Patient Pathways Diagnostic Testing Lifestyle Management Undiagnosed Health Needs Mapping (HNM) Managing Diversity: the Slough pilot Aims: To reduce the cost (time and £) of managing diabetes through effective use of communications To develop an approach to mapping demand to enable effective marketing To develop a communications tool-kit To be a model of engagement which can be exported across the NHS. Slough PCT Undiagnosed diabetics are at risk of complication and health crises. Early diagnosis should reduce emergency admissions and improve healthy lifespan. (Early research on the Slough pilot shows that 8/10 in the most at-risk postcodes simply don’t know about local diagnostic services) In Slough 4.3% of the population (4,845 from total of 120,000) are known to suffer from Diabetes. The true number is estimated to be around 7% Health Needs Mapping (HNM) Central organising concepts 1 : Contemporary Britain is characterised by a limited set of types of residential neighbourhood which occur in many different cities.

The proposed site is effectively split into two halves by Huntswood Lane. The northern half is contained on all sides by roads - Cliveden Road to the west, Taplow Common Road to the north/north east, Parliament Lane to the east/south east and Huntswood Lane to the south. However, the southern half of the proposed site lacks the clear definition of the northern half because its long eastern boundary is soft and denoted by a minor track/footpath and the tree line of Hunts Wood. There appears to be no durable defensible boundary along this western edge of the proposed site. Additionally, the proposed site does not abut an existing non-Green Belt settlement and its release would effectively punch a hole in the Green Belt. It is not considered that the proposed boundaries of the identified land would represent an appropriate new Green Belt boundary.
